This song has kind of been my anthem for school this year.

I identify with this comment a LOT.

A friend has been linking it to me whenever I get stressed for the last...nine months? It's a strangely calming anthem.

Good for that friend!

I think the great thing about that song is the combination of 'upbeat' and 'you're going to get through this.'

Agreed. It has really good energy.

Plus, like, one reason it's so uplifting to me is that what the protagonist of the song is going through is so awful, but it's about pushing through that, and it leaves me feeling like if he can get through that, I can get through what I'm dealing with without fleeing the state and changing my name. It's very much a, "If you're going through Hell, keep going" song.
